Technically, I could see Python switching to ordered dictionaries everywhere. Raymond's insight suddenly makes it easy for CPython and PyPy, and at least Jython could use the LinkedHashMap class (although this would need checking with Jython guys). I honestly hope this doesn't happen - we use ConcurrentHashMap for our dictionaries (which lack ordering) and I'm sure getting it to preserve insertion order would cost us.
